Statewide Traffic Data Purchase Services

The New Hampshire Department of Transportation is conducting a pre-qualified solicitation for statewide traffic data purchase services through a single statewide agreement with a three-year term. The procurement seeks qualified vendors to collect approximately 1,000 accepted traffic counts per year (3,000 total over the contract period), with each count consisting of a minimum of 48 consecutive hours of continuous data collection conducted on non-holiday weekdays beginning Monday through Wednesday. Year 1 will emphasize ramp counts to and from limited access facilities, while Years 2 and 3 will focus on Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) segments and safety-related counts, with approximately 30 percent of accepted counts each year requiring Federal Highway Administration 13-category vehicle classification. Vendors must collect and report data in accordance with the FHWA Traffic Monitoring Guide (December 2022) and applicable NHDOT requirements, perform quality assurance and quality control procedures, upload datasets into the State's Traffic Data Management System (TDMS) within 10 business days of field data collection completion, and manage any upload errors. Required qualifications include demonstrated statewide coverage capability, adequate staffing and equipment capacity, documented fieldwork procedures, comprehensive QC/QA procedures including recount practices, ability to manage TDMS uploads, and a summary of similar projects completed within the past five years. Interested firms must submit a Letter of Interest/Statement of Qualifications not exceeding four pages, accompanied by up to five additional pages demonstrating capability and one page identifying three current professional references, by the February 27, 2026 deadline to Tobey Reynolds, PE, at Tobey.L.Reynolds@dot.nh.gov, with the solicitation posting date of February 13, 2026 and the formal response due date of March 27, 2026.

The solicitation documents do not specify set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or incumbent vendor information. All collected data and deliverables become the exclusive property of NHDOT. Vendors selected to perform recounts due to failures in QA/QC or TDMS business rules caused by vendor-controlled factors must perform such recounts at no additional cost, with recounts only counting toward the annual 1,000 accepted counts if they confirm original volumes. Counts shall not be conducted during active construction, detours, or abnormal traffic operations unless specifically approved by NHDOT. The specific award value or budget range for this procurement is not disclosed in the available solicitation documents. Additional information regarding technical requirements and project details is available from Desiree Carron, Traffic Project Manager, Bureau of Traffic, at (603) 419-9308 or Desiree.D.Carron@dot.nh.gov.
